For this quilt, I started out just by making some selvage rainbows. Then I trimmed them all down to the same width (4", 4 1/2", I can't remember for sure) and made half-square triangles with the selvages and some Kona crush.
I wanted to do something interesting with the quilting... I think I achieved that. The swirls weren't too difficult, it was the straight-ish line spiral in the colored triangles that was challenging to get right.
Here's a view of the back, another look at the quilting:

These swap quilts are a good chance to try out new patterns, or piecing ideas, or quilting ideas, without committing to something huge and super time consuming. :)

LOVE this! You know, one of the things I miss most working only with my hand dyed fabric is that I have no selvedges to do all those cool things other people do with them! ;-)

Living in Ohio, the first quilt just makes it feel like summer! Beautiful!

I really love it. Great job.
This is fantastic! Thanks for showing the quilting on the back. I'm just getting ready to explore more variety in my quilting, but I'm never quite sure what to do.
